Kayla’s thoughts: An environment filled with monsters, horses and trains, Disney pulled out its toy box to invite all their fans into Disney Infinity.

The game consists of many famous and notorious faces from Disney, including the newest additions – The Lone Ranger and Monster University. A hybrid game, it features game play that includes fighting, role-playing, world building and more.

The game has two worlds — the world of the toys, in which we enter that world and play the story of it, (i.e. The Lone Ranger) and then the Toy Box, which allows gamers to build their worlds and use all other entities from the levels unlocked. It also will allow gamers to build, create and submit to the “Disney Cloud” to be peer-reviewed and published, letting gamers from across the world enjoy their worlds.

The game also promises multi-play and online battles. The graphics were stunning, showcasing the gameplay and details of the Wii U, and I would highly recommend the game on that platform (it will be release on a multitude of systems).

The game seemed appropriate to all age groups. But be warned consumers: it’s incredibly similar to Skylanders. You will have to purchase the game (Disney representatives say the price is around $74.99 and possibly includes three figurines) and “toys,” or figurines, to move further into the game. The storyline was only 10 hours deep, but Disney insisted the gameplay is what you make of it.
